Roman Catholicism teaches that Mary is a Co-Redemptrix upon whom we can cast all of our cares and petitions. Some Roman Catholic writers even say Mary is necessary for salvation....that without Mary's help you cannot come to Christ.

Please list a few of these Roman Catholic writers. Where did you hear about this concept about Mary? It is definitely not the teaching of the Catholic Church. I find it interesting that some people, uneducated about the teachings of the Catholic Church, feel free to speak so definitively about something that is factually untrue.

How many do you want?

The astute reader will note the contradiction of these statements with the New Testament.

http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/mary18a.htm

All the Elect obtain eternal salvation through the means of Mary. St. Ildephonsus

No man is delivered or preserved from the world-wide snares of Satan except through Mary; and God grants His graces to no one except through her alone. St. Germanus of Constantinople

Every good, every help, every grace which men have received and will receive from God until the End of Time, came, and will come, to them by the intercession and through the hands of Mary . . . the whole Trinity gave thee a name, O Mary, which after that of thy most holy Son is above every name, so that at thy name every knee should genuflect in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue should confess the grace, the glory, and the power of thy most holy name. Bl. Raymond Jordano

No one can enter into Heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate. St. Bonaventure

God has entrusted the keys and treasures of Heaven to Mary. St. Thomas Aquinas

Mary is called "The Gate of Heaven" because no one can enter Heaven but through her means. St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori

Holy Scripture was written for Mary, about Mary, and on account of Mary. St. Bernard

Mary is the dispensatrix of all the graces God bestows on man. St. Bernardine of Siena

For this reason, all creatures are obligated to render her respect and homage as to their Queen and Sovereign to whom they belong and upon whom they depend, and will depend, for all eternity. St. John Eudes

Just as we are indebted to Jesus Christ for His death, so likewise are we indebted to Mary for the salvation of the world. St. Albert the Great

O Lady, since thou art the dispenser of all graces, and since the grace of salvation can come only through thy hands, our salvation depends on thee. St. Bernardine of Siena

O Mary, we poor sinners know no other refuge but thee, for thou art our only hope, and on thee do we rely for our salvation. St. Thomas of Villanova

The foundation of all our confidence is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary. God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will: that we obtain everything through Mary. Ven. Pope Pius IX

Sinners receive pardon by the intercession of Mary alone. St. John Chrysostom

Mary is our necessary and universal Mediatrix . . . If no one knows the Father but the Son and those to whom the Son has revealed Him, likewise no one knows the Son but His Mother and the Church to whom she has revealed Him ... How is it possible to find Jesus without Mary, since Jesus Himself did not come to us except with the consent of Mary? No one can go to the Son but by Mary, just as no one can go to the Father but by the Son. Only through Mary do we reach Jesus since Jesus came to us only through Mary; and because of this great truth, we should desire nothing but to make known to all nations this path, which is so sure to reach Heaven. Ven. William Joseph Chaminade

To reach the Eternal Father, we must go to Jesus, our Mediator of Redemption . . . To go to Jesus, we must go to Mary: she is our Mediatrix of Intercession. St. Louis Marie de Montfort
